i ordered from horton iris , c&t iris , scheriners , which all exceeded my expectations . comanches iris were like 1/4 the size of the other guys. they did send a bonus the other guys sent like 4 bonus . and the size of my order was the same . i gave a neutral because i got what i ordered when i was supposed to but the plants left something to be desired . i probably wont order from them again because there are so many places out there with better quality plants for a cheaper price .

This was my first order of beareded iris. After researching which varieties might stand up to high heat and humidity, I researched who had what I wanted and placed good-size orders with five different companies who were highly rated here. I have received all the orders now, and I must say I was a bit disappointed in the Comanche Acres order. Out of my order of 12 bearded iris, two were substituted (when I had specifically stated I did not want substitutions) with varieties I did not desire. Based on the reviews I read here, I had anticipated that the Comanche Acres rhizomes would be among the largest I received from my orders. However, while they were packaged well, the Comanche Acres order turned out to be by far the smallest of the rhizomes I received. Two bonus iris were included... one of which looks to be quite beautiful... and the bonuses were the best of the rhizomes I received. The price for Comanche Acres also was a bit higher than for any of the other companies I used. Perhaps the Louisiana iris I ordered from them will have better results. I ordered Louisiana iris from four companies, and I will post another review after I receive them.

My Louisiana iris ordered arrived and it was alright. As with the bearded iris rhizomes, they were much smaller than the rhizomes I received from other companies. I ordered Louisiana iris from five companies... and comparing order to order via mail, I do not think I will be doing business with Comanche again unless they are the only source for a cultivar I seek. There are too many options that provide a better gardening experience.
